A woman's daring attempt to prevent the spread of HIV in South Africa, through theatre.
Kim, a naïve, poorly educated English girl, is enjoying the delights of London in the `Swinging Sixties’ when a chance encounter takes her on a journey to South Africa. Travelling as an actor with a touring Shakespeare company, Kim is irrevocably drawn to the `beloved country’, but her abhorrence of the oppressive system of apartheid forces her to return home. This experience changes the direction of her life, and now, having achieved a longed-for education, she is on a mission: to stop the spread of HIV. She creates the Themba HIV&AIDS Organisation in Johannesburg and recruits and trains young people from the townships to deliver a unique programme of interactive theatre workshops.
